Angeshi proud of KPA’S historic run at Africa Women’s Basketball League

KPA claimed silver at the inaugural event after losing 103-59 to home side Alexandria Sporting Club in the final held Tuesday night.

Despite failing to lift the gong, KPA made history by taking silver.

“Generally I am happy with our performance. We came here with one mission to win or get to the medal bracket of which we did. For the final match all I can say is that the Egyptians did better than us on the shots hence the big gap/ margin but all in all I am happy with our performance,” Angeshi said.

The nine-day competition brought together 10 teams battling for the new-look AWBL that was preceded by the Africa Champions Cup for Women that ASC won last year to lift their first-ever African club title.

The final was a repeat of group A clash which also saw the hosts dominate 102-77.

Equity Hawks lost 83-53 to Nigeria’s Customs in a classification match to place sixth in the tournament.
